  1. I can deal with a little rust as long as we are talking front fenders,doors,trunk-lid or hood. As long as there arent need for welding i`m good. Sure i could patch some stuff,but i want it done nice,and there i would fail myself. Yes desert cars would be perfect. Hemmings are good,and i prefer private sellers over shops. Thank you. Never come across this before.
  2. Looks much better after the conversion. I know it`s just a matter of taste.
  3. Nice job on this one. Is it curbside? You`re 1:1 is perfect btw
  4. What classic US car could i get on a budget from 0 to 15000$? I`m not super picky,it does not have to be matching numbers,the paint does not have to be shiny etc. Here are my check list. *No rust and bondo,except i could tolerate surface rust and burned paint. I`d prefer it to have everything as for original chrome/alu trim,bumpers etc. No fiberglass rubbish if it`s not original. *The interiour does not have to be 100%,cracked dash or bad carpet,bad weather strips is okay as long as it is original,no aftermarked seats,steering wheel or fluffy carpets and huge stereo. *Everything electrical should be working and hopefully original,lights,heater,wipers,etc. *No compormise are tolerated on safety as with brakes. *The car should run strong and shift smooth,no smokey exhaust or nasty oil leaks. *I would prefer a car that is used and driven regular. No "I was going to restore it but instead i let it rot for 50 years instead of selling it to someone who wanted it up and running" *V8 engine only. Manual or auto does not matter. *Would prefer power steering and brakes,but not an demand if i like the rest. What type of cars am i looking for? 67-69 Chevrolet Camaro. 73 Chevrolet Impala/Caprice sports coupe. 64 Polara 2d ht. 65 Coronet 2d ht. 70 Plymouth Cuda/Barracuda. 70-71 Dodge Challenger. 67-69 Plymouth Barracuda. 70-71 Plymouth Fury 2 door hardtop. 77-79 Chevrolet Impala/Caprice Coupe. 70-73 Pontiac T/A,Formula,Espirit or basic (Not sure what basic model is) 61-67 Chevrolet Impala 2 door hardtop (Does not have to be SS car) 63 Oldsmobile Holiday 2 door hardtop. 63-66 Buick,any 2door hardtop is interesting. (And Riviera) 61-63 Cadillac,any 2door hardtop. 65-69 Ford Mustang. Any tip of where i should be looking besides Ebay and Hemmings?
  5. Wow that`s nice Cheap and Norway dont mix,everything here is tripple the price from everywhere else Thanks for the link.
  6. I "love" those people who cant use the turn-signal,they put it on when they take the turn. This so i have to wait for ages again for a new gap to get out of the street. How hard can it really be? I flipped my finger and honked but she did not even look my way
  7. Nice! Do you know where i can get an muscle car calendar? What type of cars are pictured?
  8. Moebius 56 300B,Model Car Garage detail set for AMT 57Chrysler 300C.a set of Fujimi 17" Watanabe wheel & tires.
  9. Yes,here is where i bought it. Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/360772940951?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Not sure if it`s prizy or not but i depend on someone who can ship over seas,most people dont with spray cans.
  10. That`s the one Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Revell-07533-Heavy-Duty-Truck-Trailer-Plastikbausatz-1-25-/201002150816?pt=Standmodelle_Baus%C3%A4tze&hash=item2ecca96ba0

    My deuce

    Wonderful hot rod. There seem to be little or nothing straight out of the box,very cool.
  13. Good to know. There is a guy on Ebay offering them for 23$ a piece,never seen them so low in price before.
  14. Alclad II chrome on spray can. Excited on how this work. Revell Heavy duty trailer 1:25.
  15. Meh! I`d rather have an Miura with carburator fires and close to zero steering feedback above 100mph. Why? Because it`s beautiful,and not an Audi
  16. Great idea on the powder. I have this kit as well,needs a great deal of prep work before any paint can be done.
  17. Nice! Looking forward to see it in that color.
  18. Very nice Great job on the foil and engine detail.
  19. Same,until i was lucky to try one. As an detailer i get to drive all sorts of cars and this includes the 360 Modena. This was an F1 edition with the flappy paddle gearbox. As much as i love an rumbling torque delivering v8,there are few or any car that made goosbumps all over. When that flat crank little v8 get close to 9000rpm it does somthing to you. It just pull and pull,and the gear changes are brutal. Its like you are smacked in the seat and all hell is on again up to 9000 again. I have to point out this was in a straight line and there was little or no traffic. I would not dare to challenge the handling of this mid engine beast on public road. Anyway,really cool build. I guess you get the best of both worlds.
  20. Thank you. Bench would be nice,also some other type of wheels who does not give away what is lurking under the hood. Might look very cool,but i`m not decided on color yet. Ideas are more than welcome.
  21. Thanks. About the colors,how would burnt orange look?
  22. There is clearance between the tank and the rear frame,hard to notice on the pictures maby. The thought for the frame going a bit over the tank was it could be an nice location for fuel pumps & filters etc. The tank will still be possible to remove after the frame is mounted. In my head that is I might go up on rubber,but this is how it stand on original Viper wheels and rubber. Mock up of radiator & oil cooler. The pully`s and fanbelt are not attached here,so it kinda shows why the engine is moved.
  23. I like the idea,wild and unusual
  24. Aha,i was sure non-metallic colors where standard and you had to special order metallic. Sure look mean in black.
